Indecent A&B charged By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A Westfield State University student who refused to take no for an answer has been arraigned on charges which include indecent assault and battery on a person older than 14-years-old. WSU Officer Caitlin McCue reports, in a court document, that she was dispatched to a university residence hall last Friday for a possible sexual assault. McCue spoke with a female student who told her that a male friend, Kristopher E. Howard, 18, of 22 Cheaspeake Road, Holbrook, had been trying to get other friends to leave. Two witnesses told McCue that Howard had become angry when they would not leave the room and said “He had been forcing (the victim) to drink alcohol all night long.” The victim said that she told the man repeatedly that they were not going to have sex but he was persistent and “ripped my belt of and then he put his hands up under my shirt” although she told him to stop. “I told him at the beginning of the night we were not going to have sex,” the victim told the officer. She also told the officer “I know him from home and we have hooked up before.” Howard had left the residence hall before any officers arrived but he was found en route to the WSU south parking lot and arrested when he was found to be in possession of a water bottle containing vodka he said he had taken from a girl’s room. He was subsequently charged with being a person younger than the legal drinking age in possession of liquor, providing alcohol to a person younger than the legal drinking age and indecent assault and battery on a person older than 14-years-of age. He was arraigned Monday in Westfield District Court before Judge Philip A. Contant who set his bail at $2,500. Howard was found to also be the defendant of a pending case in Quincy District Court where he is charged with three charges of breaking and entering a building in the nighttime with intent to commit a felony, two charges of malicious destruction of property valued more than $250 and larceny of property valued more than $250. Assistant District Attorney Magali Montes filed a motion to revoke bail in that case but Contant deferred to the Quincy court and declined to intervene in that case. Howard was scheduled to appear in Quincy on yesterday but did not appear and the case was continued until Jan. 13. He was able to post the $2,500 bail and was released pending a Dec. 2 hearing. He was enjoined for making any threats or violence toward the named victim.

Board endorses zoning change Reports of campus sex crimes rise proposal
By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD — New England’s largest colleges reported about 40 percent more sexual assaults last year compared with 2012, an increase experts attribute to heightened awareness of the problem and to more victims coming forward. Reports of “forcible sex offenses” climbed to 289 last year, up from 206 in 2012, according to a Boston Globe review of data that 29 colleges provided in annual federally mandated reports released last week. While complete data will not be available from the U.S. Department of Education until at least December, the Globe reached out to a select number of schools for updated numbers. At all but four of the campuses in the review, the number of sexual assault reports rose or held steady last year. “It means that students are coming forward and reporting crimes that are happening and ending that culture of silence,” said Alison Kiss, director of the Clery Center for Security On Campus, a nonprofit that trains colleges to comply with the federal Clery Act. Under the act, colleges are required by October 1 each year to issue a report that includes statistics of allegations of crimes that occurred on campus, including dorms and other public property; at property owned by, but separated from, the main campus; and at fraternities and sororities. Specialists also believe the spike in reporting may be because colleges are becoming more thorough and transparent in collecting and disclosing sexual assault data. At Westfield State University, the number of sexual assaults have increased in small increments and an
increase in alleged assaults is anticipated in coming years due to more awareness and training students are getting on what constitutes sexual assault. “Sexual assault, sexual violence, dating violence, those are serious public health concerns and we need to be able to feel like we’re doing the most we possibly can to ensure the safety and respect of our campus environment,” said university spokesperson Molly Watson. “This year we had our students undergo HAVEN (Helping Advocates for Ending Violence Now) training and bystander intervention training.” Watson added that 750 first year students recently attended a sex-signals workshop that reinforced the
definition of sexual assault. “Are there incidents on campus? Yes, but we’re taking steps to make sure everyone feels comfortable. We’re protecting the victim’s rights and making sure that survivors have the support that they need,” she said, adding that the university tracks crime statistics on a monthly basis, posting them to the campus crime log every 48 hours. These monthly statistics are compiled in the university’s annual security report, which is posted to the school website. “Our numbers are not what you’d see at a major school, but that’s probably in-line with what they’ve always See Reports, Page 3

Track could open soon By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Residents and students could be running on the new high school track by the end of the month. Southwick-Tolland-Granville Regional Schools Superintendent Dr. John Barry told the school committee this week that the track is nearly complete, but that the track cost is over budget by nearly $10,000. “There is a cost overrun,” said Barry. “It’s not significant, but it’s there.” Barry said another $9,547 is needed to finish the track, plus there is an additional cost for a sign dedicating the track to coach and former teacher Dick Atkinson, as well as Steven Nielson, a STGRHS
graduate who donated the bulk of the track construction cost through the Steven and Elizabeth Nielsen Gift Fund. Barry said he spoke to Nielsen about the shortage and he was willing to give additional funds to offset the cost. Barry said he would come back to the committee at it’s next meeting for permission to use approximately $15,000 of capital funds. He also said he wanted to proceed with a dedication ceremony this month even without a sign. “Mr. Nielsen will be here in mid-October,” said Barry. “And when I spoke with him he made a good point about making See Track, Page 3
By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Planning Board members voted unanimously last night to give a positive recommendation to a zoning ordinance change that will allow another use in land zoned for industrial A (IA) uses. The ordinance amendment will allow “commercial amusement, recreation, and assembly” by special permit and site plan review in the in the Industrial A zone similar to what has been allowed in the Business B zone, City Council President Brent B. Bean II, who presented the amendment to the Planning Board, said change allows a “pretty passive use” in the IA zone. “We’re lucky we have open land, most of it in the Industrial A zone. I’m trying to give this option in that zone,” Bean said. “It’s allowed in Business B and only makes sense that we have it, by special permit through the Planning Board, in Industrial A, as well.” Bean said that there is a project under consideration, but said that the amendment language “is pretty broad” and “doesn’t speak to a specific project.” “Zoning changes, 95 percent of the time, are related to projects because we just don’t go through our ordinances (on a regular basis) to see if they need changes,” Bean said. “This is indoor/ outdoor recreation that can’t be done in the Industrial A zone. It was allowed in 2007, but was deleted.” Principal Planner Jay Vinskey said the language of the proposed amendment is the same language for Business B zoning. See Zoning Change, Page 7
Planners request project modification By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Planning Board requested an applicant for a special permit to allow reuse of an existing building to modify the plan to address traffic and pedestrian safety concerns. Land-use consultant Rob Levesque of R. Levesque Associated, presented the plan for reuse of a vacant building located at the corner of main and Mechanic streets owned by Rocco J. Falcone Sr., through FRP Holdings. The hearing was complicated by the fact that a residential building at 10 Mechanic Street, set to be demolished, was included in the special permit application if additional parking at 64 Main Street was required. Levesque said the 10 Mechanic St. property could provide up to 17 additional parking spaces, but that his clients decided to forego that option. “Parking will be in front of the Main Street building,” Levesque said, adding that the lot can accommodate three spaces including one handicapped space. Levesque said that both properties are in the CORE district which does not require additional parking See Planners, Page 3

Instead of ticket, officer buys girl booster seat EMMETT TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan officer who pulled over a vehicle because a 5-year-old girl wasn’t secured in a booster seat decided a ticket wouldn’t cut it. Instead, Emmett Township public safety officer Ben Hall bought her a seat. “A ticket doesn’t solve the situation,” Hall told WXMI-TV (http://bit. ly/1nbAerg ). “What solves it is the child being in the booster seat like she should be. It was the easiest 50 bucks I ever spent.” Hall was on patrol Friday in the southern Michigan community when he pulled over the vehicle after someone reported that it had an unsecured young child inside. Alexis DeLorenzo and her daughter were riding with a friend, and Hall said DeLorenzo told him that she had fallen on hard times and couldn’t afford a booster seat. “I was in a spot where I could help her,” Hall said.

Board member Peter Fiordalice said he is concerned because the property is “a small lot at the pretty busy intersection.” Member Carl Vincent also requested that all traffic into and from the building lot be from Mechanic Street. “I’m very concerned about the Main Street entrances, the curb cuts out into traffic, four lanes of traffic and a suicide lanes on Main Street,” Vincent said. “I feel that there is also a pedestrian safety issue because the rail trail blocks (the sight line) in front of the building. I would like to see an ornamental fence along the Main Street side.” “I would suggest that you close off Main Street and use Mechanic Street for access,” Vincent said. Levesque said that because it is small, narrow parking lot modification to the circulation pattern is very limited. “These are the existing conditions. I didn’t develop this plan,” Levesque said. “I think it will be worse if the (Main Street access) is closed.” Board Chairman Phil McEwan reminded members that the building has been used commercially for decades and that all of the businesses in the building used the front area for parking, two spaces and a handicap space. “Whatever use is in there can’t have a heavy traffic flow. It just won’t work,” McEwan said. “It is better suited as office space.” Ray Rivera, a former Planning Board member now serving on the Municipal Light Board, said he is the director abutter at 16 Mechanic Street and asked why 10 Mechanic St. was included in the special permit application if it is not being incorporated into the project. “If they need 10 Mechanic St., in the future, they can come back for a site plan,” Rivera said. “I have concerns for use of that (property) as a parking lot. Would it be overflow for Lansdowne? Ward 2 City Councilor Ralph Figy said that he also has concerns about the 10 Mechanic St. property after the residence is demolished. “I’m very leery about open space. You’d need something to deter people from congregating there,” Figy said. The board voted to continue

Please be advised that Governor Deval L.

The main or administration building of each public institution of the Commonwealth, e.g. town and city halls. 2. Other state-owned or state-controlled buildings. 3. All state military installations. I just finished reading Monday’s Westfield News. Although I think it’s strange that the head football coach at Westfield High School, who came in with such fanfare, resigned after only four games, I was pleased to read that the position has been filled on an interim basis. It’s nice to know that the Athletic Director and any other powers-that-be involved were able to move so quickly to get what appears to be a very qualified coach in place. I hope that the players appreciate what has been done for them. I’d like to thank Ron Kowalczyk for his work to fix the parking lot behind North Middle School. There are many families whose cars have bottomed out in the deep trench, and now it’s fixed. Thanks Ron! Continue the conversation http://thewestfieldnews.com/pulseline-form

LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the Editor: To pre-empt any misunderstanding I need to respond to a comment made at our last city council meeting regarding funding of a maintenance agreement for one year for the newly installed 24 million dollar Siemens heating and air conditioning systems. It was said that our city workers should be able to do this or put it out to bid for a cheaper contractor to manage it. During this discussion I pointed out that if we lose our warrantee, or due to the specialized nature, the system goes down, due to a non-Siemens specialist working on it, that I would not want to be the council member who will go to the taxpayers of Westfield to explain ruining a $24 million system. That it would make that person “feel like an idiot”. One of my fellow councilors must have misheard what I said and gave a rebuke that I should not refer to the city employees as idiots. That is certainly not what I said. Most city employees who know me know I hold them in high regard and often compliment them in the paper, to their supervisors, or in person for the good work they do. But, in that in talking with some employees they said they watched the meeting, and while they knew what I said, I am not taking any chances of a misrepresentation of what I said will spoil the good working relationship that I have built with our city employees. Secondly, in reading Monday’s Westfield News the front page, the comments from two new businesses regarding a poor market for their businesses. While new to the council I have been involved in community development issues for many years, and have my degree in urban planning. Back in ’08 when I ran for State Rep., and since then, I have been outspoken about all that taxpayers have invested in our city center development, and some of the missteps that have been made. As the chart on page 3 of Monday’s paper shows, and I pointed out, Westfield’s economic goes from low in the center to high the further you go out. As such we need to focus on bringing those with the higher incomes into the city center and that the plans laid out by the previous administration failed to do so. Instead, we added more to the lower-income center. While I value the contribution that WSU brings to the city, the students are not of the income of Mt. Holyoke, Smith, and Amherst. And, while we service their needs, we must service the tax investment as well. Along with this was my concern that with the agreement to have so many students living in the city center that parking for customers to our stores will be adversely impacted. Hopefully, the current efforts will bring in a parking deck, and a building to house some new business and that this will act as an attraction to other businesses. And, that those now concerned will stay and see this through. If we really want to lower taxes, we must attract new businesses. Not only retail but next generation industrial, and to do this we must, unfortunately, invest in our infrastructure, and the conditions and resources that will keep old businesses and attract new ones. The competition for them by other communities, other states, even other nations are steep. But, it is a matter of adapt and compete, or die. Brian Hoose Ward 3 City Councilor
I’m OK you’re not OK. By Andre Mayer blog.aimnet.org That seems to be the mindset of Massachusetts employers who remain confident about the prospects of their own companies, but far less so about the political leadership guiding the Massachusetts and national economies. The Associated Industries of Massachusetts Business Confidence Index released yesterday shows that employer sentiment steadied at 54.4 in September after slipping from 56.9 to 54.2 the previous month. Confidence remains well above its reading in September 2013 and has now increased in each of the first three quarters of 2014. What stands out in the report, however, is the variation between what employers see inside the walls of their companies and what they see outside those walls. The Company Index, which measures survey respondents’ confidence in the situations of their own operations, rose 1.5 points in September to 58.0, recouping an August decline. The Employment Index gained a point to 55.1, and the Sales Index added eight-tenths to 59.3. Meanwhile, the U.S. Index of business conditions prevailing nationally was off 1.8 points at 47.0, and the Massachusetts Index of conditions within the Commonwealth declined 2.0 to 50.7. “Economic growth has probably decelerated since the second-quarter rebound, but it is possible that these declines reflect political dissatisfaction, concerns about effective leadership and policy,” said Katherine A. Kiel, Professor of Economics at the College of the Holy Cross. “If actual business conditions were driving the drop, we would expect to see that in the company indicators, which remain strong.” Adds Michael Goodman, Associate Professor of Public Policy and Director of the Center for Policy Analysis at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, “These are good, solid numbers indicating that the commonwealth’s moderate expansion is continuing. “Notably, respondents report plans to increase net job creation – 23 percent expect to add staff in the next six months and 11 percent anticipate reducing headcount – which is a very encouraging sign.” If employers do have concerns about political leadership, the Business Confidence Index suggests they do not expect the November elections to address them. The Current Index, tracking employers’ assessment of existing business conditions, added half a point in September to 53.9, while the Future Index, measuring expectations for the next six months, shed two-tenths to 54.9. Manufacturers and firms with 25 or fewer employees rated Massachusetts conditions negatively, while other employers were generally positive about the state. AIM’s Business Confidence Index has been issued monthly since July 1991 under the oversight of the Board of Economic
Advisors. Presented on a 100-point scale on which 50 is neutral, the Index attained a historical high of 68.5 in 1997 and 1998; its all-time low was 33.3 in February 2009. Richard C. Lord, President and CEO of AIM, said the contrast between lower scores for state and national conditions and higher ratings for company-specific factors underscores the need for political candidates to debate economic issues. “I believe that employers – and indeed voters generally – would like to see a greater focus in this election cycle on substantive economic issues,” Lord went on. “In the Massachusetts gubernatorial contest, for example, the candidates themselves are meeting with business leaders and offering economic policy proposals, but media coverage tends to be all about the ‘horserace’ aspect and the candidates’ personal images. Our nation and state face critical real-life economic decisions in the next few years, so we cannot afford to treat the upcoming elections for Congress, constitutional offices, and the legislature as sports events or celebrity showcases.”

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Four Northeastern states have agreed to collaborate in investigations of heroin trafficking that often cross state lines, authorities said Wednesday. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane said their coalition so far also includes New Jersey and Massachusetts. Other states in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions are expected to join within the next few weeks. “The drug dealers don’t stop at the state border, and with this partnership, neither will law enforcement,” Kane said. Schneiderman said 98 percent of the large-scale heroin trafficking cases prosecuted by his office have involved drugs moving among the four states and traffickers have been able to “outmaneuver” authorities by crossing jurisdictions. The New York Attorney General’s Organized Crime Task Force, with offices in Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany and White Plains, has arrested more than 400 people in dozens of trafficking investigations since 2007. Roundups often involved 20 to 40 defendants. While those investigators can reach across state lines to arrest people committing crimes in New York, their reach doesn’t extend to criminal elements trafficking in other states. The task force members have agreed to share information, which could include identification of traffickers, stash houses and phone numbers gathered from wiretaps, informants and cooperating witnesses. The task force is intended to create the formal framework for sharing information, which investigators may now do informally. According to the attorneys general, skyrocketing demand for heroin and higher profit margins for traffickers are now driving the trade. They noted that the two largest cities on the East Coast with a combined population over 10 million people, New York City and Philadelphia, are the two primary points for heroin trafLOST AND FOUND ficking in the Northeast.

Neighbors nab man trying to rob Springfield home SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Police are crediting vigilant neighbors with catching a man who tried to rob a Springfield home. Police say the suspect entered the garage of a home on Tuesday afternoon and tried to make off with some cash and collectable coins. The home’s resident was outside using a leaf blower at the time and didn’t see or hear the intruder. But two neighbors saw the man, ran across the street and tackled the man, holding him for a couple of minutes until police arrived. Responding officers arrested 40-year-old Christopher Bellefeuille of Springfield and charged him with larceny and burglary. He is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday. It’s unclear if he has a lawyer.

Eighteen-year-old passenger HOLYOKE – The Soldiers’ Home in Holyoke will hold a flu vaccine clinic for veterans Wednesday and October 15 from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the facility’s outpatient clinic at 110 Cherry St. Spouses accompanying veterans will also be able to obtain vaccinations under the same payment criteria. People covered under Medicare Part B can obtain vaccinations for free. Some health insurance companies also pay for such vaccinations. Anyone who does not have such coverage will be charged $30 for flu shots. Check with insurance carriers for eligibility; some carriers do not pay for the vaccines. Insurance cards must be presented at the clinic. It takes about 10 days for a person who has been vaccinated to develop effective resistance against the flu. More than 6.6 million illnesses were prevented in the 2013 flu season due to the flu vaccine. Typically, flu season in New England begins in November, increases in January, and peaks in February or early March. Despite the benefits of vaccination and the potential severity of the flu, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that fewer than half of all Americans receive the vaccination in a typical flu season. While a yearly flu immunization is recommended for everyone over age six months, fewer than half of Americans received a flu shot last year, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Massachusetts has the fourth highest flu vaccination rate in the country, but it’s still very low: 53 percent of residents had a flu shot during last year’s season compared to a national average of 46 percent. That’s a drop from 58 percent of state residents who got the shot during the 2012 to 2013 season. The flu resulted in 381,000 hospitalizations across the nation last year, according to a December report from the CDC. For more information about the flu, visit www. mass.gov/flu. Established in 1952, the Soldiers’ Home in Holyoke is a state operated and fully accredited health care facility serving veterans of Massachusetts. The Soldiers’ Home offers health care, including full-time residential accommodations, an onsite dental clinic, a veterans’ assistance center, and a multiservice outpatient department.
the Industrial A zone. Special permits are discriminatory.” Planning Board Chairman Phil McEwan said he could not remember why that use was removed from the Industrial A zoning, but that it “may have had something to do with the (former Whip City) Race Track and a reuse project coming down the road.” Ward 2 Councilor Ralph Figy spoke in support of the amendments “as it will give another possible use for Industrial A land, a use compatible with aquifer protection.” Planning Board member Peter Fiordalice said the amendment will allow “the lightest use you’d see in the Industrial A zone. It would allow parking but not a processing plant.” The zoning amendment was opposed by Barbara Rokosz of Lockhouse Road and Mary Ann Babinsky of Rogers Avenue. Rokosz said the city continues to rezone the industrial A property “to allow more business in, but families don’t count.” Babinsky said she is concerned that the amendment will allow businesses that generate more traffic and require parking lots, especially in the Barnes Aquifer Protection District. The Planning Board voted 7-0 to send the City Council a positive recommendation for the proposed zoning amendment.

Rams clip WHS in thriller By Chris Putz Staff Writer WEST SPRINGFIELD – Three neighboring towns came together for double dual meets as Westfield High School and Southwick Tolland Regional High School joined West Springfield High School at Clark Field in West Springfield Tuesday afternoon. While each school fielded robust teams of 20 or more girls, the score was determined by the top handful of runners from each team. Fans enjoyed a very close meet with each team’s top runners finishing in the top 16 places. Westfield fans were surprised and elated when the Bombers’ Sophie Gonbeck (22:32) and Carley Censebella (22:41) entered the stadium and finished first and second among all finishers. In a sprint to the finish, Southwick’s Emily McKinney (22:42) followed by a few feet, finishing in third overall and first for her team. Westfield’s prospects faded when Southwick’s Sam Smith (23:02), Abigail
Howe (23:16) and Cassie White finished closely behind. Other top finishers for Westfield included Hannah Giffune, Julie Guarente, and Ellie Dufraine. Southwick’s Caroline Clark, Reece Couture and Maggie Drohen were in the points for the Rams as well. In the end, the Bombers lost very close meets to both Southwick and West Springfield by identical scores; 26-29. Westfield also saw season best performances by Amanda Haluch, Natalie Mitchell, Paige Neylon, Lauren Miastrioani, and Karolina Gurulyova. – Courtesy of WHS coach Mike Rowbotham BOYS’ CROSS COUNTRY Franklin Tech 15, St. Mary 49; Sci-Tech 21, St. Mary 37 James Marasi cracked the top 10 in a high school boys’ cross country meet for St. Mary at Stanley Park.

Westfield unites for solid run WESTFIELD – The Westfield United U10 A soccer team got back on the pitch the weekend of October 4-5 and the results were about as different as the weather was each day. On Saturday, Westfield faced off against Ludlow, who they had played the previous weekend and soundly defeated. At the start of the game, a light mist started to fall, but by the end of the game it was a complete downpour. Westfield gave up an early goal when a Ludlow player split the defense and was able to get a shot past Morgan Fillion. Westfield played as sloppy as the weather in the first half and was not able to get its momentum going. The first half ended with another Ludlow goal and Westfield down 0-2. The girls retreated to cover of some trees, attempted to dry off and regain their composure. They came out with better form and Emma Pedro was able to take an excellent cross from Emma Goodreau to one time a ball strongly into the back of the net. Westfield continued to press with multiple shots on goal, even hitting the frame a few times, but were not able to net the equalizer. Ludlow prevailed, 2-1.
ON, Sunday the sun was shining brightly, and Westfield showed up ready to play, facing an East Longmeadow squad that had given the girls fits earlier in the season with Westfield having to come from behind to win 2-1. The second time around was a new ballgame as Westfield finally broke through with a left-footed strike from Fillion off a beautiful feed by Milana Camilleri with about 10 minutes remaining in the first half. Fillion retreated to goal for second half, but Westfield continued to mount pressure in the game. Westfield went on to score three more goals – one each from Rachel Miller (from Camilleri), Camilleri (from Emma Pedro) and Annika Jensen (unassisted). Westfield was anchored by the excellent center back performance of Sarah Moriarty, who was flanked at times by a trio of different defenders – Alex Cieplinski, Molly Daniels and Abigail Dorunda. Final score was Westfield 4, East Long Meadow 0. Westfield improved to 6-2-2 for the season. Westfield will take a break from league play this coming
weekend to compete in the Paul R. Cody memorial soccer tournament in Windsor, Conn. They will take on several strong teams from Conn., and N.Y. Sun., Sept. 28 Westfield 3, Ludlow 0 Annika Jense, Morgan Fillion, and Ava Salvador led Westfield with one goal apiece. Sat., Sept. 27 Westfield 9, Monson 1 Westfield withstood a barrage of over-the-top physical play from Monson, holding its composure and maintaining focus to put together one of its most complete efforts of the season. Sun., Sept. 21 Westfield 2, Monson 2 Westfield fielded just seven players in the first half, and eight in the second but still managed to come away with a tie. Rachel Miller made several phenomenal saves in goal for Westfield, and Abby Dorunda provided a bulldog-like effort, prowling on defense.

Usually, little things are forgotten, but on two separate visits, “Susan” and her husband caused me a great deal of anxiety. The first was three years ago, when they came in for her husband’s birthday. I planned a party at a nice restaurant, bought gifts and made a cake. Prior to the meal, my brother-in-law and his cousin had a lot to drink. By the time they reached the restaurant, they were loud and obnoxious. Our server asked my husband to please keep the noise levels down. As soon as we got home, my brother-in-law grabbed his suitcase, said he was staying at his sister’s and stormed out. He claimed that the server should have asked him directly to pipe down instead of asking my husband. Last year, they visited again. On the last day, they ordered in pizza. Susan asked me for something to wrap the leftovers in, and I handed her my plastic wrap. She became belligerent, saying the wrap was terrible and I should buy the type she gets. They haven’t visited since, but when I spoke to Susan on the phone, she told me she was angry about that wrap for six months and that’s why they haven’t been back. I’m hurt by their actions. How do I deal with their hostility in the future? -Florida Dear Florida: There are two likely possibilities here: Either Susan has some medical issues that make her fixate on plastic wrap for six months, or she is covering for her husband’s drinking, which may be more serious than you know. You can gently ask her whether something else is going on and let her know you love her and miss her, or you can accept fewer visits and see them in their hometown. (And for the record, it is appropriate for a server to approach the hosts about their guests’ poor behavior, and not confront the loud-mouthed drinker whose response is unpredictable.) Dear Annie: I am a grandpa with 16 grandchildren, all of whom I love dearly. However, I don’t particularly like four of them. They have a “you owe it to me” attitude and show absolutely no respect, not only to everyone around them, but also to themselves. That being the case, I prefer not to have them associate with me or attend any family gatherings where they demand to be the center of attention. I won’t put up with that. I will, however, focus my attention on the remaining 12. As far as I’m concerned, 12 out of 16 isn’t bad. -- Grandpa in Hawaii Dear Grandpa: We understand why the behavior of those four grandchildren makes you dislike their company, but please make every effort not to let your favoritism show. And don’t give up on them. You are in a position to teach them how to be decent, compassionate adults. Apparently, their parents aren’t up to the task, but you certainly seem capable. Dear Annie: I can relate to “Danced Enough,” who moved in with a man who behaves badly. Five years ago. I moved in with “Jim,” who I thought loved me. We met through dancing. When he announced that he never wanted kids, I was devastated, but our life was comfortable, and I decided the relationship was more important, so we married. Jim was pleasant, but did not really care about my feelings. He also began spending a lot of time dancing with young, single women. Next year I will be 40. It finally hit home that I have only one life -- and this is not the one I want. I left Jim two months ago and have had an outpouring of love and support, even from those I expected would judge me harshly. The people who love you want you to be happy. -- Deserve Better Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE MICROWAVE MISTAKES Dear Readers: Microwaves are pretty much a standard appliance to have today. They sure make cooking or heating up some leftovers a snap! However, there are some very important DON’TS for a microwave. Make sure you keep the following items out of the microwave, as the U.S. Department of Agriculture says they aren’t safe, and that’s good enough for me: * Containers with metal handles. * Any foam-insulated items, such as carry-out containers. * Food wrapped in aluminum foil. * Cold containers that are used to contain yogurt, cottage cheese, margarine, etc. These should be used only for storage and NOT for microwave cooking. * Brown paper bags. -- Heloise STUBBORN JARS Dear Heloise: I have a problem opening glass jars. Do you have a hint for how to do this? -- Olga V. in New Jersey Hola, Olga! Readers, Olga wrote to me in Spanish. I read and speak just a little (solo un poco), so I can answer her question. My trick is to wrap the lid in a thick kitchen towel, then “whack” the side of it in several spots with a heavy utensil, or tap it (just the lid, not the whole glass jar!) on the floor. You can use a bowl of hot water and turn the jar upside down just until the water covers the lid. Since heat expands, the metal lid should loosen a little. -- Heloise

You are able to embrace both sides of an argument or situation. You often will waver as to which way to go. If you are single, this waffling could play out with your choice of suitor. Date and get to know others before making any type of commitment. If you are attached, the two of you often see an issue very differently. Respect each other’s opinions.

New England Patriots running back Shane Vereen (34) breaks through the Cincinnati Bengals defense on a run from scrimmage in the second half of an NFL football game Sunday, Oct. 5, 2014, in Foxborough, Mass.
THE WESTFIELD NEWS
Proietti sacks Putz, eludes others By Chris Putz Staff Writer Now that’s what I’m talking about! The New England Patriots reversed course Sunday night, cleansing the bad taste in their mouth from the debacle in Kansas City with a palatable Sunday night home victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. And with that, I went 10-3. There were 19 entrants who posted records of 11-2, and eight others at 12-1. Congratulations are in order for those participants, including the week’s top winner,

Patriots improve offense FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — New England is using balance to break out of its offensive slump. A statement win over Cincinnati on Sunday night helped even though the stats show the Patriots have had a mediocre offense so far this year. New England is 10th in the AFC in total offense; ninth in rushing and tied for eighth in passing. Not numbers the Pats are used to, yet better than they were before beating the previously undefeated Bengals 43-17. “Balance is important, obviously, to maintain as you’re playing in this league,” offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels told reporters Tuesday. “You never see many teams have tremendous success when they become one-dimensional.” New England succeeded against Cincinnati by mixing up its attack. The Patriots had 505 yards of offense. Brady completed 23 passes and main runners Stevan Ridley and Shane Vereen combined for 36 carries and 203 yards. There were 11 first downs rushing, 17 passing. Brady threw for two touchdowns and Ridley rushed for a TD. “It would be our goal each week to try and
Christina Proietti, of Southwick, who finished 12-1 with a tiebreaker total of 52. This week, the Patriots (3-2) venture into Buffalo to take on the 3-2 Bills. It will be interesting to see how Brady’s bunch responds in this potential letdown game against an opponent who boasts the league’s top run defense. A couple of interesting late games feature the Bears at the Falcons, Cowboys at the Seahawks, and, our Sunday night tiebreaker, New York Giants at the Philadelphia Eagles. Good luck!
maintain that as best we could, unless the defense obviously did something to make that almost impossible,” said McDaniels. “That was good to see — that we could move the ball in both areas.” The Patriots hit Cincinnati with an up-tempo offensive approach from the start and the Bengals never really seemed set for what was coming at them. “Any time you do that, you’re hoping that you can get yourself into a little bit of a rhythm and just force the defense to play faster, communicate faster, try to get lined up faster,” McDaniels said. “And as a result, sometimes you get some looks that are a little bit more ideal than others.” NOTES: New England coach Bill Belichick said it was difficult to release second-year wide receiver Kenbrell Thompkins, who was claimed on waivers by the Oakland Raiders. “It’s always tough to release a player, especially one like KT who works extremely hard and was really a dedicated athlete and certainly had a lot of good moments of performance for us,” Belichick said Tuesday. “Oakland will be getting a young, hardworking player . I think KT has a future in this league.” The Patriots had hoped to get Thompkins through waivers and back onto the practice squad.
